4. Ryan Scroggins & The Trenchtown Texans: Folk Devils and Move to the Country

One was geared towards Lee Perry freak-dub and an antique shop full of noise (Folk Devils) à la The Clash's Sandinista!, while Move to the Country was a more straightforward set from the Trenchtown Texans.

Honey found the band coming ever closer to perfecting their now-signature, party-ready sound. There's Meat Loaf in "Hot Saturday Night," David Bowie in "Monster" and Andrew Lloyd Webber in "The Lioness."
